1 Rebel Dash
The Rebel Dash is a compact, highly flexible, rugged CAN bus display. It is extremely bright making it ideal for in vehicle
development tasks, where engineers need to rapidly configure it to display information to be used for various testing tasks.
The Rebel Dash is designed to be integrated with all the Rebel range of data loggers, and the K-Box instrumentation but can
also be used as a standalone CAN display, it can even be used to view RAW can messages:
The use it to display variables from a Rebel Data Logger, the items that should be available in the display can simply
be added to an output signal in the Data Logger Configuration and when this is sent to the Data Logger the Dash is
automatically configured, items can then be selected within the display via the displays buttons.
The use it to display variables from a K-Box, simply load the DBC description file into the configuration utility, select
the items that should be available for display and configure the Dash via USB or a supported Kvaser device, items
can then be selected within the display via the displays buttons.
The use it to display variables broadcast on a vehicles CAN bus, simply load the DBC description file into the
configuration utility, select the items that should be available for display and configure the Dash via USB or a
supported Kvaser device, items can then be selected within the display via the displays buttons.
To use it as a CAN Message viewer no configuration is required the can viewer is accessed via the Main Menu.
The Rebel Dash is configurable from DiaLog or its configuration tool, and with the straightforward mounting system, or the
